Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server is only licensed to run data protection operations to a Tivoli Storage Manager server. It is not licensed to back up or to restore using locally managed snapshots.
Currently installed license allows to create and restore only TSM VSS backups. In order to create backups and to restore local VSS backups, Data Protection for Exchange verifies that the Exchange Server supports VSS backup (that is, it is at least Exchange Server 2003), and that a valid fully-featured license is installed.
The operation stops.
In order to create and restore local VSS backups it is required to purchase and install a fully-featured valid license. NOTE: If you use Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server it is also required to use and install IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager for Copy Services - Microsoft Exchange VSS Integration Module or to purchase an upgrade, and install Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager. If IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Copy Services - Microsoft Exchange VSS Integration Module is installed, there will be a license file, \"acsexc.lic\", in the Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server installation directory.
